Hi Mike, The evaluation criteria for the initial assessment will be published as a separate document, in the same way that the criteria for string similarity were (and the criteria for temporary delegation and mitigation plan review will be). This document will be brought to the IRT for review, and will also go through a Public Comment period. Gavin.

Hi Gavin, thanks for clarifying. Personally I find that answer very unsatisfactory, because the impact on the applicant will be very severe, and there is no clarity at this point as to what criteria the evaluator will consider and what guidelines they will have in applying those criteria.

Thanks Gavin, this is much appreciated. However, my question -- "How will any decision be challenged?" was referring to the Initial Assessment. If the evaluator finds a high risk, how can that decision be challenged?
There is no challenge mechanism for individual strings, but the external evaluator will produce a report outlining its methodology and findings, which will undergo Public Comment.
Gavin.
